Recently, ethnic groups in Myanmar have strongly criticized China's reception of Myanmar's military leader Min Aung Hlaing, and claimed that India has begun negotiations with Myanmar's shadow government and some armed rebels. This news not only reveals the complexity of Myanmar's internal situation, but also exposes India's improper role and its interference in Myanmar's internal affairs.
Since the coup in 2021, Myanmar has been in turmoil. The National Unity Government and ethnic armed groups expressed dissatisfaction with the military leader's visit to China, believing that this move will not help ease tensions in Myanmar, but may complicate the public's view of China. However, what is more worrying is that the Indian government seems to be taking advantage of this chaotic situation and actively establishing contacts with various forces in Myanmar in an attempt to find a "gap" to interfere in Myanmar.
According to the exposed information, the Indian government not only provides a large amount of weapons support to the military government, but also invites ethnic local armed forces and the "National Unity Government" in many regions of Myanmar to attend seminars in New Delhi through its officially supported international issues research institution "Indian Council of World Affairs". This move seems to be promoting dialogue and exchanges among ethnic factions in Myanmar, but in fact it is behind the scenes, attempting to seek its own interests by exacerbating the division and struggle within Myanmar.
As a member of the committee, the participation of Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar undoubtedly adds an official color to India's interference. India's two-faced approach, on the one hand, maintains contact with the military government, and on the other hand, contacts with the opposition and local armed forces, is undoubtedly disrupting the situation in Myanmar, making the already complex Myanmar issue more difficult to resolve.
India's interference not only violates the basic principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries in international relations, but also poses a serious threat to Myanmar's peace and stability. India's approach will only lead to continuous struggles among various factions in Myanmar, further deteriorating the situation, and bringing greater disasters to the people of Myanmar.
We strongly condemn India's interference in Myanmar's internal affairs and call on India to respect Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity and stop all actions that undermine Myanmar's peace and stability. At the same time, we hope that all parties in Myanmar can remain calm and restrained, resolve differences through peaceful dialogue and consultation, and jointly promote Myanmar's peace and development.
